Single; Catholic

Relationship Status with…

I have a father named Casper, a mother I call “mama,” and two sisters named Betsie and Nollie. I also have a brother named Willem, who is now married to Tine. Nollie, my younger sister, is married to Flip van Woerden. I am a watchmaker/repairer in my families watch shop, Ten Boom. I also help to hide Jews in my house, so that the Nazi soldiers do not take them to extermination camps. I enjoy riding my bike to go visit my aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. On Mondays, I love to take the train to the Naval Observatory in Amsterdam with father so he can set his watches. Being a Catholic has made me who I am. Father reads the Bible to Betsie and I every night. I was raised in a Dutch Reform Church, and Willem is an ordained minister. Since I am a Catholic, I am able to hid desperate Jews in my house so they don’t get taken away. I am glad that I am able to help people in need, which my faith helps me do. I have one special cat named Maher Shalal Hashbaz. I love cuddling with him at night because he makes me safe, and he reminds of my mom who passed away. I’m single and looking for someone with a great personality and strong faith.

Text Box: Corrie Ten Boom Mr. Smit just came to our Beje and planned out a secret room to hide the Jews!

Text Box: Willem Ten Boom became a fan of new hiding place in the Beje! I am so excited to see it! Text Box: Corrie Ten Boom New hiding place in the Beje! Text Box: Nollie Ten Boom That’s great Corrie! Where is it located? Text Box: Corrie Ten Boom Thank you dear Nollie and Willem. It is going to be a small part of my room, making it even smaller than it already is! Text Box: Willem Ten Boom Fantastic! I am so glad you are able to help out those in need.

Text Box: Casper Ten Boom Daughter, Corrie, I am ever so proud of your dedication to help others. I cannot wait to test the new place out!

CHAT ROOM:

Me: Have you been up to the new hiding room for the Jews?

Betsie: Yes! I can’t believe how fast it took! How many Jews can it hold?

Me: I know right! It fits about 10 comfortably.

Betsie: Great! Is father already off to Amsterdam to set the clocks?

Me: Yes, he left about 30 minutes ago. Shall we go visit Nollie and the children today?

Betsie: Sounds like a plan! Are there enough ration cards for the Jews today, or should I make some stew before I leave?

Me: There are just enough left- new ones come tomorrow!

Betsie: That’s good! Well Corrie, let’s meet at the front of the Beje in ten minutes to go to Nollie’s.

Me: Sounds like a plan! See you then dear sister.

Betsie: See you then Corrie. J
